Almost all respectable noble homes should have their ghosts. Our Virtual Castle was in a great need of one or two. To the rescue came Ms. Malgorzata Mazurek (our associate from Poland) finding for your viewing pleasure two great Ghosts in the Great Poland. We are very greatful for her discoveries :) The spirits obsessed us, so we put quickly an English version of their stories. Be warned: It's scary up there!

Although hard circumstances and destructive existence put (and is continuously putting) a big dent
on ecology in Poland -- not everything is lost. There are 22 national parks covering about 1
percent of the country area. Their primary goal is to study and preserve the unity of natural
systems of the area, as well as to restore the disturbed or extinct elements of native nature.
Those parks probably remember all important events in Polish history, including baptism of Poland
in 966. They do not differ since then, either. Please learn more about
Polish National Parks, realize
that you could make a difference and do something to prevent of more ecological distruction to our
environment.

We would like you to explore the information we collected about Poland,
which incorporates a link to Jan Maternicki's Interactive map of Poland containing the pointers to Polish WEB sites.
If you still want more numerical information about Poland or you can't sleep at night being
disturbed by questions like: How strong is Poland in the World with respect
to manufacturing of tracks? or How many Poles live in the South
Africa? then your dreams /sorry, forgot you can't sleep ;)/ come true in our compilation
conveniently named Polish Statistics.
If you can sleep OK, without this type of info, it's still a good place to visit ;). You may learn
something new, as we did. Should't Poland be at the forefront of the World!? You'll decide...
.

and sounds like this one.
Nice, wasn't it?
It was Valse Brillante by one of the greatest composers of all times -
Frederic Chopin. If you, like us, are impressed by the beauty of music by Polish greatest composer, you can listen to his best compositions at our Virtual Cafeteria serving
Chopin a la Carte'. You need a sound card and a frame/javascript compatible browser.

to come to light in fragments of human reality".

The old, popular Polish song stated: "...Warsaw is lovable, Warsaw is lovable. There one could
find happiness, there one could loose own heart!...". We agree with this statement and give you

exist in Warsaw in the U.S.A..
